ST. LOUIS -- Andrew McCutchen is not worried.Although rumors persist that the five-time All-Star outfielder might be moved by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the offseason, he remains philosophical about his future.My mindset is just to do my job and get myself in the best shape I can get myself in for next year, McCutchen said following the Pirates 10-4 season-ending loss at St. Louis on Sunday.Thats all out of my control, he added. All I can do is be myself and work hard and go from there.McCutchen is guaranteed $14 million next season and could become a free agent sometime in the next two years.I think its fair to say were going to continue to explore how we can get this club back into the postseason, general manager Neal Huntington said. We love this core. At the same time, if theres a significant move that we think gives us a better chance to get back to the postseason in `17 and `18, thats something well be open to.Matt Carpenter homered and Randal Grichuk keyed a six-run seventh-inning with a two-run double to lead St. Louis to its fourth win in a row.However, the Cardinals (86-76) were eliminated while still on the field when San Francisco (87-75) beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-1 and earned the second NL wild card.Thats the danger when its not in your hands anymore, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. Our focus was to take care of our own business -- and we did that.St. Louis starter Adam Wainwright allowed two runs on six hits over six innings and did not get a decision.To miss the playoffs by one game -- thats tough to swallow, Wainwright said. You think about how many times you couldve won games, or just one or two games, and you didnt. It gets you to thinking back a little bit.St. Louis outfielder Matt Holliday was brought into the game momentarily to play left field in the ninth inning. He was given a standing ovation and taken out before the first pitch. The Cardinals announced Friday they plan to decline his 2017 option and allow him to become free agent.How special was that? Matheny said. What instigated it was the response of the fans, so badly they wanted to see him one more time.St. Louis was a big league-best 100-62 last year but lost to the Chicago Cubs in the Division Series. The Cardinals never led the NL Central at any point this season and finished with a losing record at home (38-43) for the first time since 1999.Anytime you dont win the World Series, its disappointing, said infielder Aledmys Diaz. But we kept coming and never let down.After making the playoffs for three straight years, Pittsburgh dropped from 98-64 to 78-83.Yadier Molina had three hits for the Cardinals. Stephen Piscotty singled in Molina to break a 4-4 tie in the seventh.Carpenter hit his 21st homer of the season off Antonio Bastardo for a 4-2 lead.Jonathan Broxton (4-2) won despite allowing two runs in one inning of relief.Juan Nicasio (10-7) gave up three runs without recording an out in the seventh.McCutchen hit a two-run single in the fifth to give his team a 2-1 lead.Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle is ready to move on from the disappointing campaign.Forty-one years in the game and I honor the game, I respect the game, Hurdle said. And Ive also gotten very good on closing the book when its time to close the book.Pittsburgh catcher Eric Fryer had two hits in a losing cause.I think down the stretch we definitely competed, Fryer said. Theres a lot of optimism here with a lot of young arms.PACK THE PLACEA crowd of 44,615, the 19th sellout of the season, watched the final game.St. Louis drew 3,444,490, second to the Los Angeles Dodgers in major league home attendance. It was the fifth highest attendance total in franchise history and the 13th successive year the team has drawn at least 3 million.Michal Kempny Capitals Jersey . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night. Dennis Maruk Jersey .Y. -- Bills receiver Stevie Johnson has a bone to pick with the NFL schedule maker. http://www.capitalsteamstoreonline.com/ . Burris threw two TD passes, including a key 15-yard fourth-quarter strike to Bakari Grant that effectively countered a Toronto comeback bid and led Hamilton to a 33-19 victory. Jonas Siegenthaler Jersey . He just needed to be his best twisting, turning acrobatic self. "I didnt need to be anybody else, I just needed to be myself and be aggressive," said Burks, who scored a career-high 34 points to spark the Utah Jazz to a 118-103 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Monday night. Dale Hunter Jersey . With their top three point guards and Kobe Bryant all sidelined by injury, the Lakers signed Marshall out of the D-League on Friday before their home game against Minnesota.The Supreme Court appointed Lodha Committee, whose recommended reforms are to be implemented by the BCCI in the next six months, has directed the Indian board to freeze all elections post Mondays order.On Tuesday the Lodha Committee secretary Gopal Sankaranarayanan had warned that if the BCCI or states failed to follow the recommendations, they would be guilty of contempt of court. However confusion persists.The directive effectively means that Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) elections, which were supposed to be held on July 31, now stand frozen along with the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) polls, which were scheduled for August 7.Similarly, the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA)s elections held yesterday, which saw state minister Imran Raza Ansari being elected as president, now stand null and void.On Wednesday KSCA spokesperson Vinay Mrutyanjaya told ESPNcricinfo: The secretary of the Lodha Committee has sent a mail to us, based on the complaint he has received, telling us to [put on] hold the election until necessary [further] directions. We saw the complaint [where] the complainant has given the feeling as if we have started the election process after the Supreme Court judgment on July 18, but our election process started on July 11 as per the existing bylaws.However, we are considering the entire recommendations [of the Lodha Committee] and conducting this election. We have sent a clarification to the secretary of this committee that the election process was started on July 11 and that we are implementing the Supreme Court order in the conduct of the election. So, I dont see any reason for them to stop the election. We should get a go ahead based on the clarification given.Having sent a preliminary response to the Lodha Committee yesterday Mrutunjaya said the KSCA was sending another detailed e-mail to the Lodha Committee about why it believes they are cclear to go ahead with the elections next month.dddddddddddd We are implementing every recommendation (so) I dont think they would like to stop the elections. We will wait for them to respond.According to Sankaranarayanan, however, no KSCA email had yet been received by him. We have not received any reply from the KSCA. The Lodha Committee is not concerned when the election process started, they are only concerned with complying with the Supreme Court order. So if the KSCA wishes to proceed with their elections, they can seek clarification from the Supreme Court. Failing which, they will be in contempt of court.Meanwhile, CAB treasurer Biswarup Dey told ESPNcricinfo: The AGM, which was supposed to be held on July 31, has been cancelled. We decided it this evening.The Lodha Committee is understood to have sent the directive to all BCCI office-bearers including president Anurag Thakur, secretary Ajay Shirke, treasurer Anirudh Chaudhry and joint-secretary Amitabh Choudhary. The letter states that all elections in the BCCI and state associations should be kept on hold.The Committee is in the process of preparing an action plan along with timelines as directed by the Honble Supreme Court to implement the reforms and supervise the transition as swiftly as possible. Until further intimations in this regard, it is directed that the BCCI and the State Associations keep on hold all elections and electoral processes under the Rules existing as on 18.7.2016.The same may be conveyed to all the various Members and State Associations by the BCCI. Needless to say, any steps taken after the Honble Supreme Courts judgment which are inconsistent with its directions will be treated as null and void.07.30 GMT July 21 2016: This story has been updated with a response from KSCA ' ' '
